2026 Summit

We’re excited to announce the Children’s Foundation of Mississippi’s 2026 Annual Summit, themed Sowing Seeds of Success: Cultivating a Bright Future for Mississippi’s Children! Each year, this event brings together leaders, educators, advocates, and changemakers from across the state to share ideas, celebrate progress, and inspire collective action for Mississippi’s children and families.

Due to overwhelming demand and our goal of providing more opportunities for continuing education credits, the 2026 summit will expand to two full days on April 29–30, 2026, at the Clyde Muse Center in Pearl, Mississippi. Day 1 will feature the release of the new Mississippi KIDS COUNT Risk and Reach Report, a keynote panel, a range of breakout sessions, and a few more surprises! Day 2 will build upon the main day’s discussions with additional sessions and in-depth learning opportunities. We’re also introducing a silent auction this year, giving attendees even more ways to engage and support our work. 

Tickets for the Summit may be purchased for one or two days, with Early Bird Registration opening November 24, 2025. Early bird pricing is $75 for Day 1 or $130 for both days. STUDENT early bird pricing is $45 for Day 1 and $85 for both days. 

Prices will increase on March 1, and registration will close on April 20, 2026.

If your organization, business, or you as an individual would like to sponsor the event, purchase an ad in our program, or donate to the silent auction, please reach out to info@childrensfoundationms.org. More details about speakers, sessions, and activities will be available soon!
